A kinomoto was not to be taken lightly, and right now one was fuming mad, pacing in her tent like a ferocious tigress ready to be let loose and devour her prey, and the object of her…negative attention was on a particular male, sitting directly across her with a disturbed expression on his face.
'Really, Sakura, is there a need for you to be hysterical, you are acting exactly like a kaiijuu, but then again you cant really expect much from a kaiijuu, they are really…' before he could continue with his speech and description of a kaiijuu, he was cut off short by a nice painful stomp on the foot rewarded by his unappreciative sister of his efforts of describing a kaiijuu.
He spent the next ten minutes nursing his sore foot and ego. Sakura however watched on with a scary and evil smirk on her face. After the preliminary courtesies, they went on to wreck more havoc in a puny tent. (I sorta pity that tent)
'Touya, I don't want to stay here, and be protected, while you, go off, and fight in the frontlines of war, can't you see, I'm not a child anymore, I have to be able to make my own decisions sometime. Look, even if I stay here, I won't be happy, sitting ensconced in a miserable tent, while you are out there, exposed to danger, at least let me sign up as a healer.
A healer that actually heals people, not one that sits in a tent, and gets treated like a princess.' Sakura said glaring indignantly, pointing out what happened the last time, she had tried to sign up as a healer, and her brother had found out.
He had forcibly locked her up in a huge tent, together with a couple of simpering princesses, and refused to let her go out, and help the wounded, who were gossiping about fashion, hair, and clothes, when there was a war waging on outside, and people were getting killed, she had almost lost control, punched their beautifully powdered faces.
By the end of it all, she was glad to see the last of those princesses, who commented on her dressing, and, I quote, 'should wear more feminine clothes, that would appeal to the masculine tastes, but a low commoner like you, would only be able to hook up some lousy third grade man.' Ugghh, I wanted to stick a dagger through their hearts, such repulsive creatures, who were actually called …princesses? As far as I could see, I could see nothing queenly, or princsessy in them.
Touya stared at me intently for several seconds, making me squirm uncomfortably under his piercing gaze, he was known for being the most serious commander in the army, and his soldiers made jokes about him, calling him, 'Touya the terror' , but in his presence, they dared not utter a word against him, or his orders.
However, the Touya I knew was a kind, if not overprotective brother, who would still quarrel childishly with me, I had never seen the 'commander' side of him.
'All right then, if you really want to go to the battlefield so much, I'm not stopping you. You're old enough to witness these things. Old enough to witness the things that men do to one another to achieve their own ends. I don't care what you're signing up for, be it a soldier, healer, or cook, or burier. Do not expect me to show you favoritism, and you are not to address me as Touya, or brother, but to call me commander. I will brief you on your proper behavior later.' With these words, he left the tent abruptly.
Still reeling from his sudden change in attitude, I couldn't understand what had happened to him; he suddenly turned so cold, and his attitude, seemed al most nonchalant, as if not caring whether I died in the battle or not. He acted like a stranger to me. As I stood up, and went back to my own tent, it suddenly hit me, why his behavior seemed so familiar.
He had also acted like this once, long ago when he was dating kaho, and she said she was leaving to another kingdom, to help the orphans there, and pursue her career, Touya, had suddenly become this cold, rejecting her, and on the day she set out to that foreign kingdom, he turned his face away, and broke up with her, at that time, I had not understood his strange, and incomprehensible actions.
But I figured out after a while, that he was afraid to lose kaho, afraid to get hurt, if anything should happen to her, he would never be able to face himself, for not stopping her, for letting her go, so he simply pushed her away, bracing himself for the blow, if it were to come, he would be prepared, if was informed of kaho's death, or perhaps her marriage to another man, and after that, he would be able to go on with life. Except, now, it was her, who was being ignored by Touya.
The following days were torturous, Touya absolutely refused to have a friendly conversation with her, and at times ignored her presence completely, and treated her with contempt. Still, she endured it all, as she knew that her brother, was angry, and distancing himself from her, besides, she knew he would soon suffer the shock of his life soon.
